Stuffed Thai Eggplants image

I found some Thai eggplants at the farmers market and bought them without a clue how to cook them. I changed and combined several ideas I found online to create this yummy meal.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 Thai eggplants
salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
1 pound ground pork
½ bunch green onions, white parts only, chopped
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut tops off eggplants and scoop out flesh. Cut flesh into chunks and set aside. Rub salt over the insides of the eggplants. Arrange on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until softened, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute pork, green onions, and cumin until pork is no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes. Add chopped-up eggplant flesh and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Spoon pork mixture into the hollow baked eggplants.
